@Dougster -- I tried to respond to your topic in the General forum, but without knowing if my post will ever get approved I'm posting my response here.

I preordered it, really looking forward to the release. It sounds like this is the future of World Machine, unless there's some kind of miracle. Someone asked a question on their facebook page about whether WM was still in development. This was their response:

"World Machine is in development, albeit slower than most people would like. One of our main reasons for adding an external engine in World Machine with GeoGlyph 2 is that we can continue development of features for WM, separately from WM's own development."

I'm building various terrains for use in Lightwave and I'd like to find a good tool for clouds. I was starting to look at QuadSpinner's Helios, but it looks like that has been discontinued. I might have to pick up a copy of Ozone...
